Planned Unit Development District

The purpose of this section is to encourage improved design in the development of land by providing relief from rigid zoning requirements which are designed for conventional developments but which may preclude desirable but unconventional development. The PUD district shall not be used as a substitute when the Village Board determines that a one or more standard zoning districts would enable implementation of a particular development plan in substantially similar form to that envisioned. In other words, the PUD district shall not be the default choice for new development projects, but instead should be reserved for developments where conforming to standard zoning districts would be impractical or significantly compromise the vision of the development. The PUD district and this section is further intended to promote the following objectives: Diversification in the use permitted, and variation in the relationship of uses, structures, open spaces and heights of structures in developments conceived as unified projects.; Environmental design in the development of land that is of a higher quality than would otherwise be possible through the strict application of general zoning requirements.; Promotion of the functional and beneficial use of common open space.; Preservation of archeological and historic resources and natural landscape features and amenities of a development site and utilization of such features in a harmonious fashion.; Creation of a variety of uses in compatible arrangements which provide a greater choice of living, employment and shopping environments.; Efficient use of land resulting in more cost effective networks of utilities, streets and other facilities.; Coordination of architectural styles, building forms and relationships, graphics and other private improvements.
